ldfhread(3)
NAME
  ldfhread - read the file header of a common object file

SYNOPSIS
  #include <stdio.h>

  #include <filehdr.h>
  #include <syms.h>
  #include <ldfcn.h>


  int ldfhread (ldptr, filehead)
  LDFILE *ldptr;
  FILHDR *filehead;

DESCRIPTION
  ldfhread reads the file header of the common object file currently
  associated with ldptr . It reads the file header into the area of memory
  beginning at filehead.

  ldfhread returns SUCCESS or FAILURE.	If ldfhread cannot read the file
  header, it fails.

  Usually, ldfhread can be avoided by using the macro HEADER(ldptr) defined
  in <ldfcn.h> (see ldfcn(4)). Note that the information in HEADER is
  swapped, if necessary.  The information in any field, fieldname, of the
  file header can be accessed using HEADER(ldptr).fieldname.

  The program must be loaded with the object file access routine library

  libmld.a.
